Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, commonly called TDS, refers to the mixture of minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your water. These dissolved solids can originate from natural sources such as rocks and soil or from treatment and distribution processes. When TDS climbs, people often notice a salty, metallic or bitter flavor and increased spotting on faucets, dishes and glass. Because TDS measures the combined dissolved load rather than a single substance, the right response depends on which dissolved materials are present in your Sunrise Heights supply.
High TDS is usually due to dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate alongside smaller ions. While many of these are normal minerals, elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less appealing and put strain on water heaters and other appliances that evaporate or heat water. You might also see faster scale buildup, a filmy residue on shower doors, and soap that won’t lather as well. Testing is the way to measure overall TDS and determine whether dissolved salts are the primary cause in your Sunrise Heights home.
To actually remove dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, the most effective single-filter technology is reverse osmosis (RO). Unlike typical carbon filters, which mainly improve taste and reduce many organic contaminants, RO pushes water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions responsible for high TDS. That membrane-based approach makes RO well suited to address dissolved solids from a variety of sources. For Sunrise Heights homeowners who want a filter specifically targeted at TDS reduction, RO is the recommended choice.
A correctly sized whole-house reverse osmosis system treats water at the point of entry so reduced TDS is delivered to every tap, shower and appliance in your Sunrise Heights home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, systems are commonly installed with prefilters to protect performance and extend membrane life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue as it dries, and feels consistent throughout the house — and Mr. Pure Water can help test your water and determine whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
